Product Information

Full details

This Urth Lens Mount Adapter allows photographers to combine Contax/Yashica (C/Y) mount lenses with any Sony E-mount camera. It's ideal for creators seeking to explore unique lens combinations and achieve distinct visual styles, offering a secure and light-sealed connection. A key caveat is that this is a manual adapter, requiring manual focus and exposure adjustments, as it does not support automatic camera functions. The adapter is built from durable hardened aluminum and copper with an anti-reflection finish and contributes to reforestation efforts.

FAQs

Does this adapter support autofocus?

No, this is a manual adapter. Autofocus is not supported. You will need to focus manually using the lens's focus ring.

Can I control the aperture with this adapter?

Aperture control depends on the lens itself. If your Contax/Yashica (C/Y) lens has an aperture ring, you can control it manually on the lens. If the lens relies on electronic aperture control, this adapter cannot provide it.

Will I get EXIF data (like aperture and shutter speed) with my photos?

No, this adapter does not electronically communicate with the camera. EXIF data for aperture and shutter speed will not be recorded.

Is this adapter compatible with all Sony E-mount cameras?

Yes, it is designed to be compatible with all cameras featuring the Sony E-mount, including full-frame and APS-C sensor models.

What is the adapter made of?

The adapter is meticulously machined from hardened aluminum and copper for durability and a secure fit.

Does the adapter affect image quality?

The adapter has an anti-reflection matte finish to minimize internal reflections. When properly seated, it provides a light-sealed connection. Image quality will primarily depend on the performance of the attached C/Y lens.

How do I clean the adapter?

Gently wipe the mounting surfaces with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Lens does not lock onto the adapter or adapter does not lock onto the camera.

Ensure mounting surfaces are clean and free of debris. Realign the mounting dots and try again, applying gentle, steady pressure until it clicks into place. Check for any obstructions.

Image appears blurry or out of focus.

Confirm that manual focus is being used on the lens. Ensure the adapter is fully seated on the camera and the lens is fully seated on the adapter. Adjust focus carefully using the lens's focus ring and your camera's live view or focus peaking feature.

Light leaks are present around the lens or adapter.

The adapter should provide a light seal. If leaks are present, inspect the mounting surfaces of the lens, adapter, and camera for damage or debris. Ensure the adapter and lens are securely locked in place.

Camera does not meter correctly or shows an error.

Set your camera to manual exposure mode (`M`). The adapter does not support electronic communication, so automatic metering will not function. Adjust aperture on the lens (if possible) and shutter speed on the camera manually.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enables use of classic C/Y lenses on modern Sony E-mount cameras.
  • Robust construction with quality materials (aluminum and copper).
  • Provides a secure and light-sealed connection.
  • Supports manual focus and exposure control for creative freedom.
  • Contributes to environmental reforestation efforts.

Cons

  • Requires full manual adjustment of focus and exposure; no autofocus or auto exposure.
  • Cannot transmit lens electronic data to the camera.
  • May introduce slight vignetting on full-frame cameras depending on the lens.
  • Learning curve for manual focusing and exposure if transitioning from autofocus systems.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure both your Contax/Yashica (C/Y) lens and Sony E-mount camera are clean.
  2. Align the red dot on the adapter with the red dot on the Sony E-mount camera body.
  3. Gently insert the adapter into the camera mount and rotate it clockwise until it clicks into place.
  4. Align the red dot on the adapter with the red dot on your C/Y lens.
  5. Attach the lens to the adapter by inserting it and rotating it clockwise until it locks.
  6. Set your camera to manual exposure mode (`M`) and set the lens to manual focus.

Compatibility:

  • Lens Mount: Contax/Yashica (C/Y) mount lenses.
  • Camera Mount: All Sony E-mount cameras (e.g., Alpha series like a7, a7R, a7S, a9, a6000 series, NEX series, etc.).
  • Note: This is a manual adapter; it does not electronically communicate with the camera. Functions like autofocus, aperture control (if lens has no aperture ring), image stabilization, and EXIF data recording are not supported.

Care:

  • Clean the adapter's mounting surfaces gently with a dry, lint-free cloth.
  • Avoid exposing the adapter to moisture, dust, or extreme temperatures.
  • Store the adapter in a protective case or on a lens when not in use.
